Good point, but if autonomous cars are going to improve on human drivers, then they probably need to avoid human-type errors. 

Which is why most (all?) the competitors are not marketing their LiDAR systems as fully autonomous systems. But camera-based tech is no closer to achieving full autonomy. “Tesla isn’t there yet” is a yuuuuuge understatement.

Dayum, I'll bet you wish you could get a cut for the part you played in drumming it up. You have the game down to a T. 

Umm, the situation we are actively discussing puts a lie to the idea of “ a lot of investment”.

Which begs all sorts of chicken and egg questions. 

“what’s the mutant bear from Annihilation doing there?”

Here’s the card in question, from the tweet you linked. I’m assuming you were afraid of a take down notice if you published it directly.

“But I’m not a fool. Don’t accuse me of something that’s a lie.”

Man I wanted that set so bad. 

Well, we've fucked the Earth, so the Moon is the next obvious victim. 

I think you mean Thoros

“sitcomish interpersonal conflict, and flat televisual action that implies”

I totally agree, from a consumer standpoint. I just question whether the manufacturers would buy into the concept. In their short sighted view I imagine they wouldn’t see it as in their best (read: financial) interests. 

Thank you very much for making me snort peanut butter out my nose!

So more like a Cumbusken, amiright?
